It is because the dealers and SoA know better. Oil change interval on ALL turbo subaru models is 3,750 miles. Always has been, always will be.

I've got the official updated interval sheet from SOA that says otherwise, guy. They mailed it to me when I bought the car. It specifically says the turbo model WRX 2011 is 7500 miles now. If you don't believe it, take it up with them, not me. It's their literature.

Thanks for the official SoA stance, but I'll keep changing mine every 3000 (give or take). Even if they say 7500 is okay, that cannot be good for the long term reliability of your car....which goes beyond their warranty coverage and is therefore none of their concern.
